common stock at weighted average exercise prices of $4.41 and $5.19 per share as

Note 3 - Investment in nex-i.com:

       On January 14, 2000,  the Company made an  investment of $1.8 million for
3,101,000  shares of Series A  Convertible  Participating  Preferred  Stock in a
privately-held internet company - nex-i.com Inc.  ("nex-i.com").  The investment
represents  approximately  30% of nex-i.com equity on an as converted basis. The
Company  has  recorded a charge to the extent of its  investment  based upon its
proportionate preferred stock funding interest which is currently 78%.

       The Company has entered  into a  strategic  relationship  with  nex-i.com
which  provides  the Company  with a right of first  refusal to perform  certain
services related to nex-i.com's  customers which are routinely  performed by the
Company  for its own  clients.  The  terms  of the  preferred  stock  investment
include,  among other  provisions,  Board of  Directors  representation  for the
Company and the right  (with  certain  restrictions)  to sell the shares back to
nex-i.com  after  January  14,  2006,  subject  to  acceleration  under  certain
circumstances.  Additionally,  the Company has  agreed,  subject to  shareholder
approval at the Company's 2000 Annual Meeting of Shareholders  scheduled for May
19, 2000, or any  adjournment  thereof,  to issue 200,000  common stock purchase
warrants to Fallen Angel Capital,  LLC in consideration for investment  advisory
services  provided  to the  Company  in  connection  with  its  preferred  stock
investment in nex-i.com.

Note 4 - Recently Issued Accounting Standards:

       In December 1999, the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  issued Staff
Accounting   Bulletin   ("SAB")  No.  101  "Revenue   Recognition  in  Financial
Statements".  This SAB  summarizes  certain of the SEC staff's views in applying
generally  accepted  accounting  principles to revenue  recognition in financial
statements.  As amended by SAB 101A,  this SAB must be implemented no later than
June 30,  2000.  The  Company  does not expect the  accounting  and  disclosures
discussed in SAB 101 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

Note 5 - Transition Costs:

       Transition  Costs of $275,000 for the first quarter of 2000 include costs
to realign the Company's  workforce and improve its recruiting  and  information
technology infrastructure.

Item 2.      Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
              Results of Operations
- -------      ---------------------------------------------------------------

General
- -------

       AlphaNet Solutions,  Inc.  ("AlphaNet  Solutions" or the "Company") is an
information technology ("IT") professional services firm specializing in network
design,  operation,  management,  and security.  Through its Enterprise  Network
Management  Division,  the Company also offers remote network  management,  call
center  support,  and managed  security  services.  The Company's  customers are
primarily  Fortune 1000 and other large and mid-sized  companies  located in the
New  York-to-Philadelphia  corridor.  The  Company  was  formed  in  1984  as an
authorized  reseller of computer  hardware and software product and, since 1990,
has been  developing and offering  related IT services.  In the first quarter of
2000, net product sales were 52.6% and services and support revenue was 47.4% of
the Company's net sales. During the same period, gross profit from product sales
was 23.9% and gross profit from  services  and support  revenue was 76.1% of the
Company's total gross profit.

       During the first quarter of 2000, the Company's total net sales decreased
by  22.9%  from the  comparable  period  in 1999.  This  decline  was  primarily
attributable  to a  reduction  in product  sales of $6.5  million  and  services
revenue  of  $416,000.  The  Company  continues  to  focus  on the  strategy  of
transitioning  from primarily a reseller of product to a  professional  services
Company. See "Results of Operations" on pages 11-12.

       The Company is authorized by many leading  manufacturers  of IT products,
such as  3Com,  Cisco  Systems,  Compaq,  Hewlett-Packard,  IBM,  Intel,  Lucent
Technologies,  Microsoft,  NEC, Nortel Networks,  Novell and Sun Microsystems to
resell their  products  and provide  related  services.  Such  products  include
workstations,  servers,  networking  and  communications  equipment,  enterprise
computing  products,  and application  software.  Through its established vendor
alliances  with major  aggregators  of computer  hardware and  software,  Ingram
Micro,  Inc.  ("Ingram"),   Pinacor,  Inc.,  an  affiliate  of  MicroAge,   Inc.
("Pinacor"),  and Tech Data Corporation  ("Tech Data"), the Company provides its
customers with competitive  pricing and such value-added  services as electronic
product ordering, product configuration,  testing, warehousing and delivery. The
Company's  relationship  with Pinacor  commenced in 1984 and, as customer demand
for IT products grew, the Company  initiated its  relationships  with Ingram and
Tech  Data in 1994.  In  general,  the  Company  orders IT  products,  including
workstations,   servers,   enterprise   computing   products,   networking   and
communications  equipment,  and application software from such aggregators on an
as-needed basis, thereby reducing the Company's need to carry large inventories.
During the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company acquired approximately
48.9%,  3.6% and 21.3% of its products for resale from Ingram,  Pinacor and Tech
Data, respectively.

      Except for the MTA Contract  entered into in December  1997,  there are no
ongoing written  commitments by customers to purchase products from the Company,
and all product sales are made on a  purchase-order  basis. As the market for IT
products  has  matured,  price  competition  has  intensified  and is  likely to
continue  to  intensify.  During the three  months  ended  March 31,  2000,  the
Company's  gross  profits,  margins and  results of  operations  were  adversely
affected  by  such  continued  product  pricing  pressure  and by a  significant
reduction in product purchase orders from the Company's customers.  In addition,
the  Company's  gross  profits,  margins  and  results  of  operations  could be
adversely affected by a disruption in the Company's sources of product supply.

                                      -7-

      The Company offers enterprise network  management,  information  security,
Internet-related,   eMobile  Solutions,  application  development,  professional
development,  help desk, and workstation support services.  Services and support
revenue is  recognized  as such  services are  performed.  Most of the Company's
services are billed on a  time-and-materials  basis. The Company's  professional
development  and services are fee-based on a per-course  basis.  Generally,  the
Company's  service  arrangements  with its  customers  may be terminated by such
customers with limited advance notice and without significant  penalty. The most
significant cost relating to the services component of the Company's business is
personnel  costs  which  consist  of  salaries,   benefits  and  payroll-related
expenses.  Thus, the financial  performance of the Company's service business is
based  primarily upon billing margins  (billable  hourly rates less the costs to
the Company of such service  personnel on an hourly basis) and utilization rates
(billable  hours  divided by paid  hours).  The future  success of the  services
component of the  Company's  business will depend in large part upon its ability
to maintain high utilization rates at profitable  billing margins and to attract
and retain these personnel.  The competition for quality technical personnel has
continued to intensify  resulting in increased  personnel  costs for the Company
and many other IT service  providers.  This intense  competition  has caused the
Company's billing margins to be lower than they might otherwise have been.

      The Company may receive  manufacturer  rebates  resulting  from  equipment
sales. In addition,  the Company  receives volume discounts and other incentives
from  certain of its  suppliers.  Except  for  products  in transit or  products
awaiting  configuration at a Company  facility,  the Company  generally does not
maintain large inventory balances.  The Company's primary vendors have announced
or  instituted  changes  in their  price  protection  and  inventory  management
programs  as a direct  result of  changes  in such  policies  by  manufacturers.
Specifically,  they have announced that they will (i) limit price  protection to
that provided by the manufacturer,  generally less than 30 days, rather than the
unlimited protection  previously  available;  and (ii) restrict product returns,
other than defective  returns,  to a percentage (the percentage varies depending
on the  vendor  and when the  return  is made) of  product  purchased,  during a
defined period, at the lower of the invoiced price or the current price, subject
to the specific  manufacturer's  requirements and  restrictions.  At the present
time,  the Company does not believe  these  changes in the vendor  policies will
have a  material  impact on its  business.  Other  than  changes  in such  price
protection and return policies, the Company is unaware that any of its suppliers
or manufacturers have changed or intend to further change these programs.  There
can be no  assurances  that any  such  rebates,  discounts  or  incentives  will
continue  at  historical  levels,  if  at  all.  Further  adverse  modification,
restriction or reduction in such programs  could have a material  adverse effect
on the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

      The  Company  believes  that  its  ability  to  provide  a broad  range of
technical  services,  coupled with its  traditional  strength in satisfying  its
customers' IT product  requirements and its long-term  relationships  with large
clients,  positions the Company to grow the services  component of its business.
As such,  the Company  anticipates  that an  increasing  percentage of its gross
profits in the future will be derived from the services and support component of
its  business.  During the three months ended March 31, 2000,  services  revenue
accounted for  approximately  76.1% of the Company's  total gross profit in this
period.  The Company believes that, as a single-source  provider of IT products,
services and support, it is able to earn margins higher than it would earn if it
sold products only.

     The Company's net sales, gross profit, operating income and net income have
varied  substantially from quarter to quarter and are expected to continue to do
so in the  future.  Many  factors,  some of which are not within  the  Company's
control,  have  contributed and may in the future  contribute to fluctuations in
operating results. These factors include: the short-term nature of the Company's
customers' commitments;  patterns of capital spending by customers;  the timing,
size, and mix of product and service orders and deliveries;  the timing and size
of new projects;  pricing  changes in response to various  competitive  factors;
market factors  affecting the  availability  of qualified  technical  personnel;
timing and customer acceptance of new product and service offerings;  changes in
trends  affecting  outsourcing of IT services;  disruption in sources of supply;
changes in product,  personnel,  and other  operating  costs;  and  industry and
general economic  conditions.  Operating results have been and may in the future
also be  affected  by the  cost,  timing  and  other  effects  of  acquisitions,
including  the mix of  revenues  of acquired  companies.  The Company  believes,
therefore,  that past operating results and period-to-period  comparisons should
not be relied upon as an indication of future operating performance.

      The Company's operating results have been and will continue to be impacted
by changes in technical  personnel  billing and utilization  rates.  Many of the
Company's  costs,  particularly  costs  associated  with  services  and  support
revenue,  such as  administrative  support  personnel and facilities  costs, are
primarily  fixed  costs.  The  Company's  expense  levels  are  based in part on
expectations of future revenues. Technical personnel utilization rates have been
and are expected to continue to be adversely  affected  during  periods of rapid
and concentrated hiring.  Depending upon the availability of qualified technical
personnel,  during  periods of rapid  growth the Company has utilized and in the
future is likely to utilize contract  personnel,  which adversely  affects gross
margins. If the Company successfully  expands its service offerings,  periods of
variability in utilization  may continue to occur.  In addition,  the Company is
likely to incur greater technical training costs during such periods.

      In December  1997,  the Company  entered into a four-year,  $20.4  million
contract  with the MTA to  furnish  and  install  local and  wide-area  computer
network components including network and telecommunications  hardware,  software
and cabling  throughout  the MTA's over 200 locations.  The aggregate  amount of
this contract was  subsequently  increased to $20.6 million.  The Company is the
prime  contractor  on this project and is  responsible  for project  management,
systems  procurement,  and  installation.  The  work is  grouped  in  contiguous
locations and payment is predicated upon achieving specific milestone events. In
the event of default, in addition to all other remedies at law, the MTA reserves
the right to terminate the services of the Company and complete the MTA Contract
itself at the Company's  cost.  In the event of unexcused  delay by the Company,
the Company may be obligated to pay, as liquidated  damages,  the sum of $100 to
$200 per day. While the Company is currently  performing in accordance  with the
contract  terms,  there can be no  assurance  that any such events of default or
unexcused delays would not occur. In addition,  the MTA Contract is a fixed unit
price  contract,  and the  quantities  are  approximate,  for  which the MTA has
expressly  reserved the right,  for each item, to direct the amount of equipment
be increased,  decreased, or omitted entirely on 30 days notice. The MTA has the
right to suspend the work on 10 days  notice for up to 90 days and/or  terminate
the contract,  at any time, on notice, paying only for the work performed to the
date of  termination.  The  project is subject to the  prevailing  wage rate and
classification  for  telecommunications  workers,  managed  by the New York City
Controller's  office,  over  which  the  Company  has no  control,  and which is
generally adjusted in June of each year and may be so adjusted in the future.

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

       The Company has performed services and supplied products to the MTA since
the inception of the MTA Contract.  The work  performed to date at MTA sites has
required greater than originally estimated labor and other costs to complete. In
May 1999,  the  Company  submitted  a formal  request  to the MTA for  equitable
adjustment in the amount of approximately $1.5 million and for a time extension.
This request was  supplemented  with a further  submission  in October  1999. In
January  2000,  the Project  Manager for the MTA Contract  denied the  Company's
request, thereby triggering the Company's right under the contract to appeal the
Project Manager's denial to the MTA's Dispute Resolution Office (the "DRO"). The
Company filed its Notice of Appeal with the DRO in February  2000,  and pursuant
to the DRO's request,  filed a further written  submission with the DRO on March
23,  2000.  It is not yet known  when or how the DRO will rule on the  Company's
appeal.  Under the terms of the MTA Contract,  the Company is entitled to appeal
any adverse  determination  of the DRO to the trial-level  court in the State of
New York.  The  Company  believes  that its  request  for  equitable  adjustment
constitutes a valid claim under the MTA Contract.  There can be no assurance the
MTA will approve,  either in whole or in part,  any equitable  adjustment in the
contract  amount or terms  requested by the Company.  The Company has  initiated
actions to improve the operating efficiencies and management of this project. No
amounts have been recognized for any relief which may be realized from the claim
for  equitable  adjustment  submitted  to the  MTA.  The  Company  is  currently
recording recording revenues under the MTA Contract equal to costs incurred.  At
March 31, 2000, based upon eligible drawdowns, the MTA project was approximately
47% complete.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 Compared To Three Months Ended March 31, 1999

       Net  Sales.  Net sales  decreased  by 22.9%,  or $6.9  million,  to $23.2
million for the first  quarter of 2000 from $30.1  million for the first quarter
of 1999.  The Company has  continued to focus on the  strategy of  transitioning
AlphaNet  Solutions  from  primarily  a reseller  of  product to a  professional
services  company.  As a result of this  transition,  product sales decreased by
34.7%,  or $6.5  million,  to $12.2  million for the first  quarter of 2000 from
$18.7  million  for the first  quarter of 1999.  Services  and  support  revenue
decreased by 3.6%,  or $416,000,  to $11.0 million for the first quarter of 2000
from $11.4 million for the first quarter of 1999. Many of the services performed
by the Company in prior years such as desktop  support  services,  configuration
and  installation  were performed to support the product  sales.  As the overall
product  business  declines,  this type of service  revenue also  declines.  The
Company is now focusing on providing  services and support that are  independent
of product sales such as security,  training,  and network  operations  support.
Also  contributing to reduced services and support revenue for the first quarter
of 2000 is a general slowdown in IT spending as Y2K projects were completed.

       Gross Profit.  Gross profit decreased by 33.0%, or $1.8 million,  to $3.7
million for the first quarter of 2000 from $5.5 million for the first quarter of
1999.  Measured as a percentage of net sales, the Company's overall gross profit
margin  decreased to 15.7% of net sales for the first quarter of 2000 from 18.1%
for the first  quarter of 1999.  Gross  profit  attributable  to  product  sales
decreased by 58.2%,  or $1.2 million,  to $871,000 for the first quarter of 2000
from $2.1 million for the first quarter of 1999. Measured as a percentage of net
sales, product gross profit decreased to 7.1% for the first quarter of 2000 from
11.1% for the first  quarter of 1999.  This  decline in product  gross profit is
primarily  due to downward  pricing  pressure  on product  sales.  Gross  profit
attributable to services and support  decreased by 17.5%,  or $589,000,  to $2.8
million in the first  quarter of 2000 from $3.4 million for the first quarter of
1999.  Measured as a percentage  of net sales,  gross  profit from  services and
support  decreased  to 25.2% for the first  quarter  of 2000 from  29.5% for the
first  quarter of 1999.  This  decrease  is  primarily  due to the loss of gross
profit from the Company's  discontinued  staffing  division and telecom division
and a reduction in manufacturer  credits received for warranty repairs performed
by the Company.

       Selling,  General  and  Administrative  Expenses.  Selling,  general  and
administrative expenses decreased by 10.9%, or $685,000, to $5.6 million for the
first  quarter of 2000 from $6.3  million  for the first  quarter of 1999.  This
decrease is primarily  attributable to reduced personnel and facilities  related
costs  partially  offset by increased  marketing and  advertising  expenditures,
increased recruiting costs for technical personnel,  and increased  professional
services costs.

                                      -11-
<PAGE>
      Transition  costs.  Transition  costs of $275,000 for the first quarter of
2000 include costs to realign the Company's workforce and improve its recruiting
and information technology infrastructure.

       Interest  income,  net.  Interest  income,  net  increased  by 62.9%,  or
$100,000,  to $259,000 for the first  quarter of 2000 from $159,000 in the first
quarter of 1999.  This increase is primarily  due to a $4.9 million  increase in
the average cash balance maintained by the Company during the current quarter.

      nex-i.com.  On January 14, 2000,  the Company made an  investment  of $1.8
million for  3,101,000  shares of Series A Convertible  Participating  Preferred
Stock in a private  internet  start-up - nex-i.com.  The  investment  represents
approximately  30% of nex-i.com  equity on an as converted  basis. The nex-i.com
series A financing represents substantially all of the current funding available
to support nex-i.com's operations and cash flow requirements.  Accordingly,  the
Company  has  recorded  a charge to the extent of its  proportionate  investment
based upon its preferred  stock  funding  interest  which is currently  78%. The
Company  recorded a first  quarter  2000  charge of  $335,000  relating  to this
investment.

       Benefit for income  taxes.  The benefit for income  taxes for the quarter
ended March 31, 2000 was $959,000. An income tax benefit was recorded at a 41.5%
effective tax rate in 2000. In 1999,  the benefit for income taxes was $250,000,
which was also based upon a 41.5% effective tax rate.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
- ------------------------------------

       In December 1999, the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  issued Staff
Accounting   Bulletin   ("SAB")  No.  101  "Revenue   Recognition  in  Financial
Statements".  This SAB  summarizes  certain of the SEC staff's views in applying
generally  accepted  accounting  principles to revenue  recognition in financial
statements.  As amended by SAB 101A,  this SAB must be implemented no later than
June 30,  2000.  The  Company  does not expect the  accounting  and  disclosures
discussed in SAB 101 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

       Cash and cash  equivalents at March 31, 2000 increased by 32.6%,  or $5.4
million,  to $21.9  million from $16.5  million at December  31,  1999.  Working
capital at March 31,  2000 was $35.3  million as  compared  to $37.8  million at
December 31, 1999  representing a decrease of $2.6 million or 6.8%. The increase
in cash was  primarily  due to increases in cash  provided by operations of $7.5
million and cash provided by financing activities of $178,000 which is partially
offset by cash used in investing activities of $2.4 million.

       Since its inception, the Company has funded its operations primarily from
cash generated by operations,  as well as with funds from  borrowings  under the
Company's  credit  facilities  and the net proceeds  from the  Company's  public
offerings.

       Cash provided by operating activities primarily resulted from collections
of accounts  receivable  of  approximately  $9.7  million,  increases in accrued
expenses of $1.0  million,  and  increases in accounts  payable of $1.1 million,
partially  offset by a $1.7 million  increase in  inventory,  costs in excess of
billings for the MTA project of $1.1 million and the net loss for the quarter of
$1.4  million.  The  Company's  days sales  outstanding  in accounts  receivable
decreased from 69 days at December 31, 1999 to 64 days at March 31, 2000.

       Cash used in investing  activities  related to the Company's $1.8 million
investment  in  nex-i.com  and capital  expenditures  of  $558,000.  The capital
expenditures were primarily for the purchase of computer  equipment and software
used by the Company.

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

       Cash provided by financing  activities of $178,000  primarily  relates to
the proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options and employee  purchases
of Company stock.

       On June 30, 1997,  the Company and the Bank  executed a Loan and Security
Agreement  whereby the Bank expanded the Company's credit facility to enable the
Company to borrow, based upon eligible accounts receivable,  up to $15.0 million
for short-term  working capital purposes.  Such facility includes a $2.5 million
sublimit  for  letters of credit and a $5.0  million  sublimit  for  acquisition
advances.  Under the  facility,  the  Company  may  borrow,  subject  to certain
post-closing  conditions and covenants by the Company,  (i) for working  capital
purposes,  at the Bank's  prime rate less 0.50% or LIBOR plus 1.25% and (ii) for
acquisitions,  at the Bank's  prime rate less  0.25% or LIBOR  plus  1.50%.  The
Company's obligations under such facility are collateralized by a first priority
lien on the Company's  accounts  receivable and inventory,  except for inventory
for which the Bank has or will have  subordinated  its position to certain other
lenders pursuant to intercreditor agreements. On September 30, 1998, the Company
and the Bank entered into an amendment to the  aforementioned  Loan and Security
Agreement,  whereby the Bank  extended  the  Company's  credit  facility  for an
additional  year through  September  30, 1999.  Effective  October 1, 1999,  the
Company and the Bank extended the Company's credit facility on substantially the
same terms and  conditions  for an interim  period  ending  December  31,  1999.
Effective  January 1, 2000,  the Company  and the Bank  extended  the  Company's
credit facility for an additional year ending December 31, 2000 on substantially
similar terms;  however, the Bank has provided $2.0 million of the $15.0 million
credit  line to the  Company on an  uncollateralized  basis.  Under this  credit
facility,  the Company is required to maintain a minimum  fixed charge  coverage
ratio, and a total liabilities to net worth ratio. At March 31, 2000, no amounts
were outstanding under the credit facility.

       The Company's  Employee Stock Purchase Plan was approved by the Company's
shareholders in May 1998.  During 1998,  80,888 shares of common stock were sold
to employees  under the plan for  approximately  $509,000,  an average  price of
$6.29 per share.  During 1999,  employees  purchased an additional 49,691 shares
under the plan for approximately  $177,000, an average price of $3.54 per share.
During the three months ended March 31, 2000,  9,072 shares of common stock were
sold to employees under the plan for approximately  $45,000, an average price of
$4.93 per share. The Company has issued an aggregate of 139,671 shares since the
inception of the Employee  Stock  Purchase Plan at an average price of $5.23 per
share, receiving total proceeds of $730,000.

       The Company  purchases  certain inventory and equipment through financing
arrangements  with Finova Capital  Corporation  and IBM Credit  Corporation.  At
March 31, 2000,  there were outstanding  balances of approximately  $3.4 million
for Finova Capital  Corporation  and  approximately  $1.6 million for IBM Credit
Corporation   under  such   arrangements.   Obligations   under  such  financing
arrangements  are  collateralized  by  substantially  all of the  assets  of the
Company.

       The Company believes that its available funds, together with existing and
anticipated  credit  facilities,  will be  adequate  to satisfy  its current and
planned operations for at least the next 12 months.

       On April 27,  2000,  the Company  entered  into a letter  agreement  with
Fallen Angel Capital, LLC, the general partner of Fallen Angel Equity Fund, LP.,
a Delaware limited  partnership which owns more than 10% of the Company's common
stock and of which Ira Cohen,  a  director  and  nominee  for  re-election  as a
director of the Company,  is a principal.  Under terms of the letter  agreement,
the Company has agreed,  subject to shareholder approval at the Company's Annual
Meeting of Shareholders  scheduled for May 19, 2000, or any adjournment thereof,
to issue  warrants to Fallen Angel  Capital,  LLC to purchase  200,000 shares of
Common  Stock of the  Company  at a  purchase  price of $5.00  per  share  for a
one-year  period   commencing  May  19,  2000  and  ending  May  18,  2001.  The
consideration  for the  issuance  of the  warrants is the  services  provided by
Fallen Angel Capital, LLC in negotiating the business and financial terms of the
Company's   preferred   stock   investment  in  nex-i.com  Inc.,  a  New  Jersey
corporation.  The estimated fair value of  the warrants will be determined as of
the date of shareholder approval using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

           AlphaNet Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") is a New Jersey corporation.
Fallen  Angel  Equity  Fund,  L.P.  (the  "Partnership")  is a Delaware  limited
partnership.  The general  partner of the  Partnership  is Fallen Angel Capital,

favor of the Company's proposal to issue certain warrants,  as set forth herein,
and Mr. Gang is not in any way bound by any of the terms, conditions,  covenants
or other agreements set forth herein.

           On May 20, 1999,  the  Company's  Board of Directors  authorized  the
issuance of warrants to Fallen  Angel to purchase  Common  Stock of the Company,
subject to  agreement  on the terms of the  warrants  and the terms of  issuance
thereof.  The warrants were to entitle the General  Partner to purchase  200,000
shares of Common  Stock of the  Company at a purchase  price of $5.00 per share,
which, on the date of approval thereof by the Board of Directors of the Company,
was approximately 125% of the $3.938 closing price of the Common Stock.

           The  consideration  for the  issuance of the warrants is the services
provided by the General  Partner in negotiating the business and financial terms
of the Company's  preferred  stock  investment  in nex-i.com  inc., a New Jersey
corporation.  The issuance of the  warrants for this purpose is being  submitted
for approval by the Company's  shareholders at the Company's 2000 Annual Meeting
currently scheduled for May 19, 2000.

           As consideration for the furnishing of the services  described above,
the  Company  will issue,  and the General  Partner  will accept  therefor,  the
issuance by the Company of one or more warrants (each a "Warrant," together, the
"Warrants")  to purchase an  aggregate of 200,000  common  shares of the Company
("Common Stock") as follows:

           1. Upon approval by the Company's  shareholders at the Company's 2000
Annual Meeting or any adjournment  thereof,  the Company shall promptly issue to
the  General  Partner a  Warrant  or  Warrants  in the form  attached  hereto to
purchase up to an aggregate of 200,000 shares of Common Stock, for a term of one
year, at $5.00 per share.

           2. At any time after delivery of the Warrants to the General  Partner
(the  "Grant  Date")  until  the  earlier  of (i) one  day  prior  to the  third
anniversary  of the Grant Date,  and (ii) 90 days prior to the date on which all
the shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants (the "Warrant Shares") may
be  immediately  sold  without  registration  pursuant  to  Rule  144(k)  of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  without being subject to volume limitations
thereof,  the holders of no less than 60% of the Warrant Shares, may request the
Company to file a Registration  Statement with the SEC  registering  the Warrant
Shares for resale (a "Registration  Request").  In the event that a Registration
Request is made to the Company, the Company shall promptly and diligently pursue
the filing of a Registration Statement with the SEC, provided, that: (i) holders
of the  Warrants  shall  excuse  any delay in the  filing  of such  Registration
Statement  for so long  as the  Company,  in good  faith,  determines  that  the
disclosure  required in the Registration  Statement would constitute a premature
disclosure of confidential  information that would have an adverse affect on the
Company's  ability to transact business at such time; and (ii) if the Company is
eligible to file a  Registration  Statement on Form S-3, or a similar Form,  the
Company may file such Registration  Statement on such form. The Company shall at
all times,  and at its sole  discretion,  have the right to include  the Warrant
Shares in any  Registration  Statement  that the Company files with the SEC. The
Company shall maintain the effectiveness of any Registration  Statement filed by
it  pursuant  to a  Registration  Request  for a period  of 270 days  after  the
effective date thereof.

           In the event  that the  Company  prepares  and  files a  Registration
Statement pursuant to a Registration  Request,  all reasonable expenses incurred
in  connection  therewith,   including,  without  limitation,  all  underwriting
discounts and commissions, registration, listing and qualification fees, printer
and accounting  fees, all fees and  disbursements of counsel for the Company and
all other outside costs, shall be borne by the General Partner;  provided,  that
the General  Partner  shall not be required  to pay for any  allocated  internal
staff costs  incurred  by the Company in  connection  with the  preparation  and
filing of such Registration Statement.

           Upon the exercise of the Warrants, the Company shall list the Warrant
Shares on the Nasdaq  National Market System or such other market or exchange on
which the Common Stock is listed at such time. The Company agrees that until the
holders  sell all the Warrant  Shares,  the  Company  will file on or before the
required  date  therefor  all  regular  or  periodic  reports  (pursuant  to the
Securities  Exchange Act of 1934) with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission
(the  "SEC")  and will  deliver to the  holders  promptly  upon  their  becoming
available one copy of each report, notice or proxy statement sent by the Company
to its stockholders generally,  and of each regular or periodic report (pursuant
to the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934)  and  any  Registration  Statement,
prospectus or written  communication  (other than transmittal letters) (pursuant
to the  Securities  Act of 1933),  filed by the Company with (i) the SEC or (ii)
any securities exchange on which shares of Common stock are listed.

           In the  event  that  Warrant  Shares  are to be  sold  pursuant  to a
Registration  Statement filed by the Company pursuant to a Registration  Request
is to be an underwritten  offering, the Company shall enter into and perform its
obligations  under  an  underwriting  agreement  in  usual  and  customary  form
including,  without  limitation,   customary  indemnification  and  contribution
obligations, with the managing underwriter of such offering.

           In the  event any  Warrant  Shares  are  included  in a  Registration
Statement filed by the Company pursuant to a Registration Request:

                     (a) To the  extent  permitted  by  law,  the  Company  will
indemnify  and  hold  harmless  each  holder  of  Warrant  Shares,  each  of its
directors,  officers,  partners,  managers,  employees and agents, and any other
person who controls such holder within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933
(each, an "Indemnified Holder"),  against any losses, claims, damages,  expenses
or liabilities (joint or several)  (collectively  "Claims") to which any of them
become subject under the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities  Exchange Act of
1934 or otherwise,  insofar as such Claims (or actions or  proceedings,  whether
commenced or threatened,  in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
of the  following  statements,  omissions  or  violations  in  the  Registration
Statement,  or any post-effective  amendment thereof, or any prospectus included
therein: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the Registration Statement or any post-effective  amendment thereof
or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to
be stated  therein or necessary to make the statements  therein not  misleading,
(ii) any  untrue  statement  or alleged  untrue  statement  of a  material  fact
contained in any  preliminary  prospectus if used prior to the effective date of
such Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or
supplemented,  if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement  thereto
with the SEC) or the omission or alleged  omission to state therein any material
fact necessary to make the statements made therein, not misleading, or (iii) any
violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act of 1933, the
Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934 or any  state  securities  law or any  rule or
regulation  (the  matters in the  foregoing  clauses  (i) through  (iii)  being,
collectively,   "Violations").  The  Company  shall  reimburse  the  Indemnified
Holders, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for the
legal fees of one such  Indemnified  Holder as to any Claim or other  reasonable
expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such
Claim.   Notwithstanding   anything  to  the  contrary   contained  herein,  the
indemnification  agreement contained in this paragraph: (A) shall not apply to a
Claim by any  Indemnified  Holder arising out of or based upon a Violation which
occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information  furnished in writing
to the Company by such  Indemnified  Holder expressly for use in connection with
the preparation of the Registration  Statement or any such amendment  thereof or
supplement  thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company
for  review  by the  Indemnified  Holder  (B) with  respect  to any  preliminary
prospectus  shall not inure to the  benefit of any  person  from whom the person
asserting  any such Claim  purchased  the  Warrant  Shares  that are the subject
thereof (or to the benefit of any person  controlling such person) if the untrue
statement or omission of material fact contained in the  preliminary  prospectus
was  corrected  in  the  prospectus,  as  then  amended  or  supplemented,  if a
prospectus  was  timely  made  available  by  the  Company  for  review  by  the
Indemnified  Holder or such  person;  and (C) shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written
consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably  withheld.  Such
indemnity shall remain in full force and effect  regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Holder and shall survive the transfer of
the Warrant Shares by the Indemnified Holder.

                     (b) In connection with any Registration  Statement in which
Warrant  Shares of a holder are  included,  each such holder agrees to indemnify
and hold  harmless,  to the same  extent and in the same manner set forth in the
preceding paragraph,  the Company,  each of its directors,  each of its officers
who sign the  Registration  Statement,  each  person,  if any,  who controls the
Company  within the  meaning  of the  Securities  Act of 1933 or the  Securities
Exchange  Act of  1934,  any  underwriter  and  any  other  stockholder  selling
securities  pursuant to the  Registration  Statement or any of its  directors or
officers or any person who controls such  stockholder or underwriter  within the
meaning of the  Securities  Act of 1933 or the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934
(each,  an  "Indemnified  Party"),  against  any  Claim to which any of them may
become subject, under the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 or  otherwise,  insofar  as such  Claim  arises out of or is based upon any
Violation,  in each  case to the  extent  (and  only to the  extent)  that  such
Violation  occurs in reliance  upon and in conformity  with written  information
furnished to the Company by such holder  expressly  for use in  connection  with
such Registration  Statement,  and such holder will promptly reimburse any legal
or other expenses  reasonably  incurred by them in connection with investigating
or defending any such Claim;  provided,  however,  that the indemnity  agreement
contained in this paragraph shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any
Claim if such  settlement is effected  without the prior written consent of such
holder,  which consent shall not be  unreasonably  withheld;  provided  further,
however,  that the holder  shall be liable  under this  paragraph  for only that
amount of a Claim as does not exceed the net proceeds to such holder as a result
of the sale of the Warrant Shares included in such Registration Statement.  Such
indemnity shall remain in full force and effect  regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of
the Warrant  Shares by the  holder.  Notwithstanding  anything  to the  contrary
contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this paragraph with
respect  to any  preliminary  prospectus  shall not inure to the  benefit  of an
Indemnified Party if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained
in the preliminary prospectus was corrected on a timely basis in the prospectus,
as then amended or supplemented.

           3. In  connection  with the  furnishing  of  services  by the General
Partner  to the  Company,  information  concerning  the  Company  including  its
subsidiaries and affiliates,  which may have been and may be in verbal,  visual,
written,  electronic, or other form ("Evaluation Material"),  was made available
to the General  Partner.  The Evaluation  Material does not include  information
which  was  rightfully  in  the  possession  of the  General  Partner  prior  to
disclosure by the Company,  was  independently  developed by the General Partner
without use of any Evaluation Material, or is now or hereafter becomes available
to the public other than as a result of a disclosure  by the General  Partner in
violation of this Agreement. The General Partner represents that it has used the
Evaluation Material solely in connection with providing services to the Company,
and shall keep such Evaluation  Material strictly  confidential.  The Evaluation
Material  was  provided  by  the  General   Partner   solely  to  those  of  its
representatives  to whom such disclosure was reasonably deemed to be required to
facilitate  the General  Partner's  furnishing  of services to the Company.  The
General  Partner  acknowledges  to the Company that the Evaluation  Material may
contain  material  nonpublic  information  concerning  the Company.  The General
Partner  acknowledges its awareness of the  restrictions  imposed by federal and
state securities laws on persons in possession of material nonpublic information
and  hereby  agrees  that  while  it  is in  possession  of  material  nonpublic
information with respect to the Company,  the General Partner has not purchased,
and  shall  not  purchase,  and has not  permitted  and  shall  not  permit  the
Partnership,  to  purchase or sell any  securities  of the  Company,  other than
purchases  pursuant to the  exercise of the  Warrants,  or to  communicate  such
information  to any third party in violation of such laws.  Nothing herein shall
constitute an admission by the General  Partner or the  Partnership  that any of
the  Evaluation  Material  in  fact  contains  material  nonpublic   information
concerning the Company.

           4. The holder of the Warrants or any Warrant  Shares may, at any time
and from time to time,  without  obtaining  the prior consent or approval of the
Company, assign or otherwise transfer the Warrants or the Warrant Shares, or any
part thereof,  and all or any part of such holder's rights under this Agreement,
provided  that  in  connection  with  any  assignment  or  transfer  that is not
registered  under the Securities Act of 1933, such holder must deliver a written
Opinion of Counsel,  in form and substance  satisfactory to the Company and from
Counsel that is  satisfactory  to the  Company,  to the Company no less than ten
calendar  days  prior to such  proposed  transfer,  that (i)  provides  that the
proposed transfer is exempt from registration  requirements under the Securities
Act of 1933 and (ii) sets forth the basis for such exemption.

           5. The parties expressly  acknowledge that issuance of the Warrant is
being submitted for approval of the Company's shareholders at the Company's 2000
Annual  Meeting  (currently  scheduled  for May 19,  2000),  or any  adjournment
thereof.  Accordingly,  the parties  understand and agree that, unless and until
such approval has been secured, this Agreement shall have no force or effect.
